Has anyone seen a program called TRIO, which contains word processing,
spreadsheet, and database parts?  I saw this for sale locally, at a very
reasonable price.  I would appreciate any feedback on its usability, to wit:

*. Are there notable speed problems due to the Commodore's disk drive?
*. How integrated is it - can you easily pass data back and forth among
   programs?
*. How does it deal with 40 columns?
*. Does it interface well to printers?
*. Can it be backed up?
*. Can it produce plain text output files for use with other programs?

Thanks in advance for any reports and observations.
